large bell that can be rung to symbolize the joining of the two lives. This area is
quite private (more than 600 feet from the road) and offers another beautiful
setting for wedding receptions and parties as well.
Note: The wedding under a tent can also be done near the lake home, but
limited to a 30X105 tent which will handle up to 275 people.

The wedding ceremony area seats up to 280
in the flat area and more can be added
depending on the desire for tents for
reception activities. We have had as many as
five tents added for reception and party use
following the ceremony. They were 30X105,
30X30, 30X30, 20X30, and 20X50. The larger
tent is often used for an outdoor dance floor

as the trees and railing on the porch of the Lake House. There are flower beds
along the walkway which are decorated with white flowering plants so as to
blend with the color selection of the wedding couple. Lighting in place is also
white for the same reason, but other colors can be added as desired. We
typically do tents in this area for outdoor receptions as well. This is the #1
preferred site.

the actual nuptials are usually performed in front of the fireplace.
